Bowie and Iggy 1977

In celebration of 40 years of Iggy Pop’s The Idiot, here’s a few pics of its creators in 1977.

The colour shot of Bowie at the keyboard was taken by Andy Kent at a soundcheck during The Idiot Tour.

The picture of Bowie on the left was taken by Koh Hasebe at the combined Japanese press conference for Low and The Idiot. Both Bowie and Iggy faced the press on the day, with much tomfoolery in evidence by the pair.

The mono pic is another shot of the boys having a bit of a laugh, slightly at odds with the mood set by Low and The Idiot.
